The etiological diagnosis was exclusively histopathological, this allowed to highlight eggs of Schistosome in the appendicular wall in the three patients. The surgical treatment was supplemented by a specific medical treatment based on praziquantel. The surgical suites were simple for 2 patients, complicated by superficial parietal suppuration in a patient.展开更多

However, the survivors are at high risk of medical and social late effects. In Morocco, childhood cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers. The purpose of this study was to look for factors related to marital status in Moroccan childhood cancer survivors. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among childhood cancer survivors treated between 1978 and 2004 at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Children＇s Hospital of Rabat. Medical and demographic data were collected through questionnaires completed by phone or internet, by the survivor, his parent or his physician. Among 995 patients considered cured; only 195 were found. The decline from the initial diagnosis varies from 10 years to 36 years, with a mean of 16.2 years and a standard deviation of 6.3 years. In our study, we found that 31 survivoi＇s （22.3%） of adult participants were married. They were aged between 23 and 43 （the mean was 31.8 and the SD was 5.9）. Men, aged more than 35 years old and unemployed are less likely to be married. To our knowledge, there is no previous study about the fate of Moroccan childhood cancer survivors before our study. Hence, it was a cross-sectional study to have a quick picture on the situation in Morocco. It would be necessary to establish a follow-up strategy in Morocco.展开更多
